Local Authority Members' Forum

*Location TBC*

This event has been created exclusively for local authority managers to give you space to discuss the issues that matter to you, given your unique statutory responsibility in delivering service for care leavers.

We held our inaugural local authority forum in February, where we discussed issues such as Continuing Care, the Care Experienced Bursary and out-of-local authority placements.

Our second local authority members’ forum will focus on the issues that are live for you – and we want to hear from you, our members, in shaping the day’s content. Get in touch with [email protected] if you have something you wish to add to the agenda.
